Ginn Family,

My heart truly broke when I heard the news. I can’t begin to express my sympathy.

Your son was, is, and always will be a wonderful young man. A friend to so many, he was loved by all that knew him. Shelby was crushed to lose someone that he really cared for.

I remember the joy and pride Sam exuded when he donned the catcher’s gear those early times. He seemed to carry those feelings through life. I guess in a way he knew what a special person he was. I am honored to have coached and known him.

Dear Lynn and Chris,

I taught Sam in 7th and 8th grade, and I am so sad for your family. My memories of Sam are of his sweet prayers in class and compassion for others who were hurting. What a sweet, respectful guy! I pray that the Lord comforts you with his grace, and that you all are reassured that Sam is with His Savior. He was a light and reflected the love of God, even as a middle schooler.

Sincerely,
Lauren Callaham

Sam, was a really good friend to me, I never saw Sam sad, when I was around him he was always happy, joking and laughing around. He'd always make sure I was in a good mood if he sensed something. I'm going to miss all the days of us playing football he was extremely competitive in anything he did. Much love to you Sam.

Lynn and Chris,

We have had the privilege of being your neighbors for 10 years and watching Sam grow up.

Sam had such an infectious personality, tender spirit, and caring heart for others.

There are no words that can adequately express our level of grief and sympathy we have for you. Our prayer is that you will continue to walk with the Lord on this next journey. He knows the magnitude of your indescribable grief.

May the sweet memories you have of your precious Sam sneak upon you every day! What hope we have in Lord knowing we will be reunited again.

God speed sweet Sam, we will see you on the other side….

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:18

When I first came to Maumelle my sophomore year , Sam was one of the first guys I took in as a friend. I joined the wrestling team and he was my sparring partner many times during practice. He pushed me every day in practice to be better in the sport we love. It's going to be tough knowing that I won't ever be able to physically view his smile, drive, or masculine strength on the mat again, but when my work is done in this world, I know I will see him again. Well done brother, I will miss you.

Ginn Family-
I was Sam's American History teacher. You raised a good kid and he will be missed in class. I pray for you to have the strength to get through this. I graded his last test and he made an "A". I was hoping to tell him the next day how proud I was of him. Rest in peace Sam.

To The Family Of Sam Ginn:
Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of Sam. Something that I personally found in the Bible at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4.
These verses tell us that soon god is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear love ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness, and death. Knowing this has always comforted me, and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
Sincerely,
Pat

Our hearts are broken over your loss. Sam was a good friend to Haiden and Hunter, and one of the friends that never treated Haiden any differently after her diabetes diagnosis. He was good to her, and he was always such a respectful and happy young man. He waited on my front porch one day until I got home before entering our house to see Haiden. That made an impression on me. You raised him well. Such a great kid, and I know his presence will be missed by many.
